A new particle has certainly been found and in the unlikely event it is not the Higgs the response of most physicists would not be "oh, no" but pure delight because then it is something unexpected and even more exotic than the Higgs helping us find new knowledge. If 15 years from now the LHC finds the Higgs and nothing else then they would say "oh,no" because it would have only found what was expected to find, the discovery that the Higgs did not exist would be much more exciting.
